4 To the Teacher The Teacher s Guide to Canada, A Country of Change provides many ideas for using the textbook. It also has many additional strategies and activities for teaching Canadian history to grade 6 students. There are probably more ideas in this teacher s guide than you will use in the school year. These are provided so that you will have a variety of ideas suitable for different students. Important Considerations in Writing the Teacher s Guide Our experience as teachers and the research we have read were important in writing this guide. Teachers know that students often have difficulty reading social studies material, so we have tried to include a variety of activities to address this. We also know that teachers need a variety of activities to get some students interested in learning. Discussion with some grade 6 students and teachers reminded us of the activities that students like to do and the activities that teachers would like to try but may not have time to prepare. Discussions with students in the Middle Years Social Studies Methods classes at the University of Winnipeg helped us to remember what beginning teachers want and need. Social Studies Activities That Grade 6 Students Like history that the teacher makes especially interesting, with lots of detail and fun facts interesting and humorous stories from history historical stories and novels that they can read or that the teacher can read to them hands-on activities brains-on activities, where they can think on their own problems to solve; decisions to make discussions and informal debates where they can take a stand role-play, skits, and simulations videos/dvds of historical people and events games they can play with other students to acquire or review knowledge puzzles projects that allow creativity and result in the creation of their own products group discussions about the parts of the textbook they have read, or about related topics history that connects to current events or student interests field trips to historic sites Social Studies Ideas That Teachers Like background information (reminders of historical information about people, places, and events; humorous or interesting stories) additional information about the topics in the text ideas for activities of all kinds 1

5 activities that assist students to read content material activities for students who read at different levels vocabulary activities suggestions for research and note taking outline maps and diagrams for students or for classroom overheads puzzles and problem-solving activity suggestions ideas and samples of role-play materials ideas, patterns, recipes for hands-on activities resource list of print, nonprint materials, suitable for grade 6 suggestions for different assessment activities Before You Begin Order of Use of Chapters This book begins around 1867, the Confederation era, and progresses to Canada in modern times. However, too often teachers miss the last sections of a course, because they run out of time.we suggest that you check the material in chapters 13, 14, and 15, and consider ways to incorporate some of this material throughout the year. Current Events Most classes have current events activities on a daily or weekly basis throughout the year. We suggest that current events be discussed when they occur, even if that means delaying or extending the study of topics planned. Wherever possible, students should look for contemporary news items related to the historical events they are studying. We have suggested topics and activities in Applying or Extension and Integration Activities of most chapters.! Sample Pages Many of the ideas on citizenship that are discussed in the Introduction, page 7, and in chapters 13 and 14, can be incorporated into current events throughout the year. Elections make good tie-ins to the textbook. Remember that there are fixed dates for both federal and Manitoba elections. Federal elections generally occur every four years, as do Manitoba elections (usually in June). Consider this when planning to teach the government section, chapter 15. Page Numbers Page numbers referred to in the activities correspond to the textbook. The only other document that may be referenced is Success for All Learners, a handbook published by Manitoba Education and Training. Page numbers from that resource are accompanied by the notation SFAL. Icons The following icons are used in the Teacher s Guide:!? indicates important information indicates questions for class discussion How the Teacher s Guide Is Organized Getting Started This section provides a series of activities to do in advance of using the book. What Do We Already Know About Canadian History? This section provides activities to review Canadian history knowledge and skills from grade 5. Included are the following: world map map of Canada questions to review Canadian geography, as well as some history names and facts Getting to Know Your Textbook This section provides a number of activities you can use to show students both how the textbook is organized and the resources it provides. Activities provide opportunities for students to locate and use the table of contents, index, glossary, and timelines throughout the book. By Part The book is divided into five parts of three chapters each. The introductory spread for each part is organized as a memory box, featuring 2 To the Teacher

6 items from the period to be discussed. We suggest taking a short time to introduce the parts so that students know what is ahead. Students may find it useful to return to the introductory spreads after they have completed the part to see if they have ideas for other items to add to the memory box. (See the ongoing project for memory boxes, below.) As well, this teacher s guide includes an activity at the beginning of each part to introduce the chapters that follow. Ongoing Project: Memory Box The two-page spread at the beginning of each part in the textbook acts as a visual preview of the chapters that follow. These spreads are referred to as memory boxes, because the items pictured there are the kind of things that people would keep in their souvenir or memory boxes. Memory boxes can be used throughout the year in the following ways: Students can find appropriately sized memory boxes and decorate them individually. These personal boxes can be used to keep artifacts that are meaningful to the students. Students should be prepared to have the teacher look at the contents and read the student s explanation for keeping these items. If students give permission, these boxes could be kept on display during the school year then taken home by the students at the end of the year. As a class, students can make a collective memory box for the school archives. Students can discuss what they are saving and leave an explanation, for future students, to explain why such things were important to them. Appendixes: A timeline of Canadian history is on pages of the textbook. The prime ministers of Canada are found on page 202. By Chapter 1 Knowledge and Values Outcomes Specific social studies knowledge skills and value outcomes are required by Manitoba Education, Citizenship and Youth. The knowledge and skills outcomes covered in each chapter in the 1 Chapters 1 3 are organized a bit differently, because they are partly a review of grade 5 topics. textbook are listed in a box at the beginning of the corresponding chapter in this guide. Skills, Strategies, and Ideas This is a list of the various skills, strategies, and big ideas, or concepts, covered in the chapter. Teacher Reference Notes (a) Advice This section includes cautions about difficult or controversial material and suggestions for dividing the chapter for reading and study. (b) Information This section includes background information about people, places, and events. It may also provide useful resources and equipment. (c)what Else Was Happening at this Time? This section gives the teacher some additional information about the period and of events of the time. (d) Current Events This section suggests topics that may currently be in the news and that fit with the chapter. (e) Resource List Reference books, videos, DVDs, historical stories, and novels appropriate to the topics are listed. Information about resources that are suggested for specific activities is included with the directions for the activities. General resources are listed, chapter-by-chapter, at the end of the guide. (e) Vocabulary List Words that are likely to be unfamiliar are listed. An asterisk indicates a word that is explained either in the chapter or in the glossary. Vocabulary Activities These activities are to be used as appropriate for the time and the class. Activating Activities Use these activities to do the following: find out what students already know discover students misconceptions remind students of information or ideas that they already know stimulate interest To the Teacher 3

7 Activating activities may be combined with vocabulary study or with the chapter preview. Several activities are usually suggested. Choose strategies that are useful to you and your students. (Other activating strategies are suggested in Success for All Learners/SFAL.) Some chapters provide a preview activity. These both introduce the chapters and help students prepare for reading. Acquiring/Applying Activities These activities suggest ways for students to learn new material and skills and how to apply them. We have combined them, because that is how teachers usually work with these activities in the classroom. Many of the activities in this section answer the questions Who? What? When? Where? Why? and How? In most chapters, this section includes stories, poems, legends, or songs that can be used. Novels for students and read-aloud novels for the whole class may also be suggested, as are relevant videos. Some activities are included for students to learn about daily life at the time being studied. These include recipes, role-play activities, and associated crafts to create relevant props or costumes. Some chapters include information on what it was like to be a child at the time being studied, as so much history is written about adults. This section may include directions for making toys or a list of games that children played. There is often information about school and learning. Further ideas for Acquiring and Applying activities can be found in Success for All Learners/SFAL. There are some readings in the Acquiring and Applying section. They are organized with questions that students can be asked directly. There are more readings than you would want to use. Some of them could be used for your own information, or you can have students read them and use the questions for oral discussion. Extension and Integration Activities These activities provide some students with more challenging or creative projects. These activities may be integrated into other subject areas, such as ELA, art, music, or math. Summing Up /Assessment Activities These ideas may be used for major projects or performances to summarize and assess the chapter. Many of these activities allow students to put ideas together in charts or maps or other types of activities. Assessment activities are often part of previous activities, but some specific ideas will be included here. Blackline Masters and Teacher s Notes Blackline masters that apply to a particular chapter are found at the end of that chapter. General blackline masters, such as outline maps, patterns for crafts, or assessment suggestions, are included in the General BLM appendix at the end of the guide. Chapter notes for teachers follow the blackline masters. They include additional information that may be helpful when conducting a particular lesson or activity. Answer pages for blackline master activities are provided where there are factual or specific answers, particularly for map exercises or review questions.! Blackline masters (BLM) do not always have to be copied and handed out to students. They can be used as a basis for oral instructions or for questions for whole-class discussion, or they can be reproduced as overheads. Blackline masters are designed to be flexible, depending on how you, the teacher, plan to use them. 4 To the Teacher

8 We hope you enjoy using both the textbook and Teacher s Guide for Canada, A Country of Change. Most important, have some fun while you teach this! Marilyn Mackay Linda McDowell Special thanks to the students of the Middle Years Social Studies CI&A classes of Cathy Phillipson and Sandy Millen at the University of Winnipeg, They reminded us what it was like to be starting a teaching career. Also, thanks to Patty Duncan, grade 6 teacher at Garden Grove, for her valuable advice. Recommended Supplementary Materials The following materials can be used with the textbook throughout the year, and are referenced in shorter form in resource lists: Books Hehner, Barbara (ed.) The Spirit of Canada. Toronto: Stoddart Kids, (Now distributed by Fitzhenry and Whiteside.) This is an excellent resource that provides legends, poems, stories, and songs for the textbook. You will use it often. Lunn, Janet, and Christopher Moore (illus. by Alan Daniel). The Story of Canada. Toronto: Key Porter, 2000 (rev. ed.). This book provides additional background information for you and your students. It has some very good sidebars and illustrations. Marcotte, Nancy Sellars. Ordinary People in Canada s Past. Edmonton: Arnold Publishing, Ordinary People has been used for some time as a grade 6 text, so you may find some copies around your school. It is very useful for stories of children of various time periods. If you can find several copies, the stories could be used by small groups. Websites Historica Minutes videotapes or CDs, produced by Historica Canada Foundation. See < for content and ordering information. The videotapes can also be viewed online at < minutes/section.do?classname=ca.histori. minutes.entity.classicminute>. Manitoba Education, Citizenship and Youth website. See: < learnres/bibliographies.html>. The Social Studies Kindergarten to Grade 8 Learning Resources: Annotated Bibliography found there provides new information and ideas for teaching this course.! If you have not taught a history-based course for a while, see Planning to Teach a History Topic, page 6. It may help you organize and focus on a topic. To the Teacher 5

9 Planning to Teach a History Topic Include the following in your teaching plans: WHO? Who was the important person or group? WHAT? What was the event? What happened? WHEN? When did this event happen? Can students place this event on the timeline? WHERE? Where did this event happen? Can students locate the places on a map? WHY? Why did this event happen? What were the causes? HOW? How did the event happen? How do we know about it? WHY SHOULD WE CARE? Why is this event important to us or to the world? 6 Planning to Teach a History Topic

10 Introduction: Getting Started (textbook pages 7 9) This is an unusual course situation, because the grade 5 and 6 courses together form a complete study of Canadian history. As a result, the two courses need to be linked in an unusually close way. This introduction is organized into two parts: 1. Review activities provide a review of some grade 5 material in order to: activate basic knowledge and skills that may have been forgotten over the summer make a link between the study of Confederation at the end of the grade 5 course and the ongoing study of Canadian history from 1867 in grade 6 2. Getting to Know Your Book activities introduce the various parts of the book. We know that students: make better use of a text if they have had an opportunity to get to know the organization and helpful sections of the book gain advance knowledge of what they are going to study in the course by examining the book beforehand Review Activities The following activities are intended to help you and your students: review some skills and previous knowledge from grade 5 get to know the new textbook for grade 6 Map Skills (BLMs I-1, I-2) There are two map review exercises, one for the world and one for Canada. To do these activities you will need: World Map Review (BLM I-1) Outline Map of the World (BLM G-11) atlases and/or wall map of the world Canada Map Review (BLM I-2a) Review Map of Canada (BLM I-2b) atlases and/or wall map of Canada pencils, erasers Canada Game (BLM I-3) Canada Game review questions are designed to help students remember information from the previous year. To prepare, create cards from BLM I-3: Paste the sheet of rectangles on cardboard and cut, or paste each rectangle directly onto index cards. The answers to the questions appear on the bottom of the card, facing the questioner. You can play the game three ways: (1) You can be quizmaster and run the game like a spelling bee, (2) you can create multiple sets of cards, and have small groups quiz each other, or (3) you can divide the class into pairs of students, and have each student quiz the other in turn. You may wish to extend the lesson by creating your own cards with different information. You can store cards in a recipe box, with dividers to identify different themes. Introduction: Getting Started 7

11 ! Sample Pages If you want to make this game livelier, have Canada-themed prizes. You can buy inexpensive Canada souvenirs at most dollar stores. It is a good idea to buy souvenirs in May and June, because they are not always available later in the year. In this section, the first 14 questions are about Canadian geography, the next 9 questions are about explorers, and the final 7 questions are about First Nations. Students can use blanks to add their own questions. Crime Scene Investigator (BLM I-8) If you think that your students do not need all of these detailed activities, or if you wish to have some fun after the individual activities above, try the CSI activity (BLM I-8) on page 21. It has students look at all parts of the book. Students can work individually or in groups, with each group being given some of the numbered clues and reporting its findings back to the class. For answers to the above activities, see page 24. Getting to Know Your Book The activities suggested here will help you and your students get to know the new textbook. You and your students can prepare by first reading the section Getting to Know Your Book on pages 4 6.! You and your students may also wish to discuss pages 2 4 of the textbook, which talks about the study of history. These ideas about history are reinforced throughout the course, when you are actually using the various types of resources that are discussed here. Activities throughout the Teacher s Guide draw attention to these ideas about history. Parts of Your Book (BLMs I-4, I-5, I-6, I-7) There are four separate short activities to help students find and use various parts of the book. They are: Table of Contents activity sheet (BLM I-4) Index activity sheet (BLM I-5) Glossary activity sheet (BLM I-6) Timeline Crossword (BLM I-7) Use any or all of these activities. Students will also need copies of the textbook Canada, A Country of Change. 8 Introduction: Getting Started

Your task is to follow the kidnapper s clues throughout your textbook and to find the identity of the mystery victim. Clue 1. Clue 2. I kidnapped the victim from a historical site in downtown Winnipeg. (Check illustration on page 27 to find the answer.) Where was it? The victim originally came from Canada s 10th province (see Part IV Introduction). Name it. Clue 3. I did not put the victim in a vehicle, train, or plane. How did we travel? (Chapter 13 contains a picture of The Spirit of Haida Gwaii. What transportation are the mythical characters using?) Clue 4. You will not be able to follow me unless you change your mode of transportation and not for a toy, but the real thing (page 125). Name the transportation. Clue 5.
